This is the first reunion photo where Dayne Popa actually made it into the picture (4th from left in the back row). Others who came too late for the picture: Rob Mehno, Henry Hergenroder, John Zamarelli, and others.

This reunion is the first reunion for several classmates: it was good to see John Ziegler, Henry Hergenroder, and Freddy Baharona. For those of you who have never made it to a reunion, think about coming for #30.

Well, it's been 25 years since we all walked out of Salem High School for the last time. Your former classmates are looking forward to seeing YOU! Remember high school? Friday night dances? basketball games? football games? halftimes? the Dukes? Petiteens? Baby eggs in family living? Physics with Kibler? the smoking lounges? Driver's Ed at 6:30 in the morning? Our Prom - the Old South? MSB concert? The band? Getting your card pulled at the library? the Yearbook? homecomings? King of Hearts dance? White Christmas dance? chocolate suckers on Valentines day? Donuts and coke for breakfast at the concession stand? Funny Girl? Dial M for Murder? Drama Club? 7-2-1 Record? the food fight? Chemistry with Turner? Home Ec with Ms. Carmello? The Esposito's? Rafferty? Powers? Coach Spack? Mr. Morris? Mrs. Cozza? Mike Hunt? Mr. Cabas? and on and on...

Whatever happen to all of those people? We'd meet the day after Christmas at Hendron's, but after a few years, everyone went their own way. We got together in '93, '98 and '03. It was amazing to see how some of us have changed and some have remained the same.

 

Head coach and class mate Dave Janofa started the reunion off with a bang. In the last scheduled game between Salem and West Branch, Salem prevailed for a 21-19 victory. Defensive coach Rob Mehno was quick to point out that the winning touchdown was scored by the defense, as they ran an interception back 30 yards for the final touchdown. After the game, classmates met at the Elks for Pizza.

Team Slocum won the golf outing Saturday morning with an impressive 4 under par. Two dozen classmates enjoyed a beautiful morning of golf.

70+ classmates and spouses met for a buffet dinner at Timberlanes on Saturday night. Southeast Elementary alumni were happy to see that Kirk Steves traveled all the way from Kansas for the reunion, marking the longest travel that night. Kim Goodchild Chapman won the 50-50 raffle. Rob Mehno was awarded the teddy bear tea pot for his towering drive on the first fairway at golfing. After dinner, John Yutuc broke the ice and started everyone dancing.

Thanks to everyone who came back for the 15 year reunion. Special thanks to the committee who made the reunion a reality: Kelly Finch Janofa, Chuck DelVichio, Dorothy Irey Wright, Brian Wright, Rob Mehno, Deb Janofa Heath, and Bill Jelen. If you would like to help with the 2003 reunion, you are welcome to join the committee.
